Abstract

When parton distributions are falling steeply as the momentum fractions of the partons increases, there are effects that occur at each order in αs that combine to affect hard scattering cross sections and need to be summed. We show how to accomplish this in a leading approximation in the context of a parton shower Monte Carlo event generator.
